Second Class of Diversity Dental Student Scholarships Announced
In 2021, with the goal of making dental education more accessible, helping to diversify the dental profession, and improving oral health equity, the Delta Dental Foundation (DDF) launched the Diversity Dental Student Scholarship. Given annually, this scholarship is awarded to a student from a systemically disadvantaged racial and ethnic background entering dental school. The $25,000 scholarships are given to one student from Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine, the Ohio State University College of Dentistry, the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry, Indiana University School of Dentistry, and the University of Michigan School of Dentistry.
